Groestlcoin Core is the original Groestlcoin client and it builds the backbone of the network. It downloads and, by default, stores the entire history of Groestlcoin transactions, which requires 3 gigabytes or more of disk space. Depending on the speed of your computer and network connection, the synchronization process can take anywhere from a few hours to several days or more.
To download Groestlcoin Core, visit groestlcoin.org.
The following are some helpful notes on how to run Groestlcoin on your native platform.
Unpack the files into a directory and run:

Unpack the files into a directory, and then run groestlcoin-qt.exe.
